icing, what does it look like? is it the snowy fluffy stuff that might indicate poor door seals or broken insulation, or is it the hard stuff that could indicate poor defrost or blocked drain. incorrect gas charge can also cause icing.

Seacow,

another way to put it is
'iced over'

icing is not just about ice glazing, though this meaning seems to be the most common indeed. Icing can also stand for the formation of ice on outdoor objects exposed to severe cold (a kind of the opposite to deicing).

i am aware of the technical terminology involving the word icing. i passed all my HS regents science exams, thank you very much
